<h2><a href="#">Blind Messiah - Mission Statement</a></h2>
	  <p>Today the internet is moving into a new era; of which the user is  given more access to interact with its source material, than was ever  possible before. Because of the more creative systems like Facebook,  Flickr and Youtube &ndash; people now understand the lengths of what can be  achieved online.</p>
        <p>When we gain interest in any product, for  example &ndash; The White Album by The Beatles, We today know that we can log  online and buy that product from say Amazon or EBay. But what convinces  us buy that product? For me, I would have to say that I never look at  the standard profile of the item, but instead I will search for other  people&rsquo;s reviews &ndash; as they will always be far more reliable because  they have tried and tested the product. After all, the best form of  advertising is word of mouth&hellip;</p>

        <p>Now imagine implementing this  strategy into a large music community where only the reliability of the  &ldquo;user review&rdquo; speaks out as the soul drive for the site. Using new  script technology and web applications within software like Ruby on  Rails and Lovdbyless; we can design Blind Messiah to serve entirely for  the users needs, providing them with a service that fundamentally  connects us closer to the world of music!</p>
        <p>The design format  for Blind Messiah is one of the most important aspects of the whole  publication; we will use a minimalist approach to save on loading times  and one that makes it as easy as possible for the user to browse  through comfortably and informatively.</p>

	  <h2><a href="#">Mission Statement Continued...</a></h2>
	  <p>The key is to create  a system that allows the user to make personal edits wherever they  explore, and in doing so the content will therefore speak for itself.  So imagine a Band like The Smiths, we have created a profile page for  them and on this page are many options to explore&hellip; We can start a new  topic of discussion in the forum dedicated to the band, or we can post  on the wall/shout box and leave a message for everyone to see&hellip; We can  browse through their albums, their artwork; we can add them to our  &ldquo;favourites list&rdquo; or even &ldquo;watch&rdquo; them so that we can later receive  email updates informing us of any changes&hellip;</p>

      <p>This project will  be supported through user reviews alone&hellip; Because it&rsquo;s what &ldquo;you&rdquo; say;  that is most important to us. There will be no censorship at Blind  Messiah as freedom of speech is what will make this work, but obviously  in terms or racism or prejudice we will have a team of moderators that  will select the best material to put on the front row&hellip;</p>
      <p>Granting  all users their own control panel and profile page &ndash; will give anyone  interested the opportunity to create an online identity; of which they  can then leave their mark in whichever way they choose &ndash; and your every  step will be recorded back to your profile. Think of it as an online  record of achievement, which will display to the world how many reviews  you have written, how many posts you&rsquo;ve made, it will contain all your  favourite bands, it will even make you a cup of coffee! &ndash; Just kidding,  but you get my drift&hellip;</p>

      <p>I hope this short Mission statement  will give everyone a better idea of what we are trying to achieve here.  Don&rsquo;t get me wrong, this is one hell of a mountain to climb, but if we  all work hard and put our minds together &ndash; I know we can produce  something exceptional!</p>

			A template is a wonderful thing, it gives us the freedom to develop our ideas  as a group - and together from here we can produce something that is inspired by what the people want...
